My assumption is the 200 expands narrower, but drives deeper.

I actually don't know how their expanded diameter averages when shot into big game, because have never recovered a 200-grain .30 Partition from any animal, whether it was shot from a .30-06 or various .300 magnums--and have used a bunch of 'em since 1977, when I started using the original lathe-turned "semi-spitzer" or "blunt-nose" model. One did stay inside a Colorado bull elk after a "raking" shot, as Elmer Keith called them, at close to 400 yards--but never found it after tracing the bullet's path through the guts into the chest cavity.

But have never been able to see any difference in how both bullets killed when shooting a number of animals at various ranges.
